Cloudy amber coloured. Yeasty and bitter. Nice complex and unusual taste. Get some time to get used to it. Good one.

Large white head. Sediment in beer. Honey fairly clear color. Strong Citrus clove smell. Sweet and creamy initially to the palate. Not to bitter with hops. Uses the same type of hops as the Zatte. Hops are unique tasting and tempered nicely by malt. They are bitter but meaty and well rounded. Believe it or not it’s like liver to me. For a 9% the alcohol is very well hidden. Has a bitter trail.

(Bottle 33 cl) There ought to be hop-alert printed somewhere on this beer, this truly is a bitter beer. Dutch beers this strong are usually malty and sweet, and even though this certainly contains some malty sweetness the hops overpower everything. A spicy, aromatic bitterness - but bitter indeed. Very bitter. Dark amber with a gigantic, beige shaving foam-like head. A truly unusual beer. 210304

300 mL (?) bottle. cloudy amber orange, with strong citrusfruit, yeast, and alcohol aromas. i’m glad it’s nothing i spent a while looking for, because it’s nothing special, mostly just another average belgian ale. don’t go out of your way to get a hold of this....

Hazy orange-brown, huge slightly off-white head. Orvasl-like aroma: lemon and leather. Lemon acidy, bitter flavor with long acidy aftertaste with grassy notes and a bit of Jägermeister. Alcoholic punches. Slightly restless palate but otherwise another good brew from ’t IJ.

This must be my favourite IJ beer, but I truly like most of them. Alcohol is well hidden, malty. Excellent ale.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy burnt orange with a medium creamy off-white head. Aroma of spicy yeast, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, strawberries, citrus, sweaty gym socks, and florals. Flavor of malt, yeast, fruit, and spices.

Good dark amber with a nice glow. The off-white head is huge and creamy dense. Bready, yeasty, and fruity. Bit of caramel, cotton candy, mandarin oranges, nutmeg and bubblegum. Slight bite of alcohol. Lingering hop bitterness in finish.
